Does Not Equal Ten

I want to
Set you free
And wait for you to come back to me
Set you free
I don’t need you no more
We should let it be
Cos it’s a catastrophe
Let it be
We don’t need it no more
You probably said to me a thousand times
Please please remember to make up your mind
Although I’ve told you I’ll tell you again
2 + 6 + 4 does not equal 10
And so I say
Wait for me
I never wanted you to be free
Wait for me
I need you some more
We could go out again
You might be my only friend
Go out again
We’ve been here before
I know I’ve said to you a thousand times
Please please remember to make up your mind
Although I’ve told you I’ll tell you again
2 + 6 + 4 does not equal 10
2 + 6 plus + 4 does not equal ten 2 + 6 plus + 4 does not equal ten
Not equal not equal not equal ten Not equal not equal not equal ten
So here we are
Let me be
Our time was such a waste you see
Let me be
I need something more
You should hit the road
Get out I wanna be alone
Hit the road
I don't need you no more

Into The Trap

I saw your face
When I wasn’t in the best place
You came into my heart
I never wanted us to be apart
Sometimes I see you around
You always make such a beautiful sound
Something said to me that day
Hold onto that girl don’t let her get away
But there’s always something holding me back
I fall into the trap
Something’s holding me back
Hold me back
Where do I go from here
I’m sick of sitting alone drinking beer
Introspection we’ll save for a rainy day
I’d rather see your smile anyway
What’s wrong with wanting to hold your hand
I think I’ll go and I’ll start up another band
I’ll sing songs about you
Make music and see my dreams come true
But there’s always something holding me back
I fall into the trap
Something’s holding me back
Hold me back
I saw your face
When I wasn’t in the best place
You you came into my heart
I never wanted us to be apart
I’d like for you to stick around for a while
You’ve got such a beautiful smile
I only wish that I could say
You’d be mine for I’d be yours any day
But there’s always something holding me back
I fall into the trap
Something’s holding me back
Hold me back
It’s holding me back
It’s holding me back
Stop holding me back
Stop holding me back

Passenger Side

How are we expected to know
Then suddenly when it’s time to go
We realise that
What we know
And then it’s never never never time to go
Why do we hold to the simple things
And why do we bare a grudge against them
Why do we control all our feelings
And why do we
Swear at your sins
I said hold my glance
Take the stance
Never do we have a second chance
A second chance
Consciously do we make the thought
Only though it never hits the heart
Yet still we drive
Still we drive
Still we drive
On and on in the passenger side
I said hold my glance
Take the stance
Never do we have a second chance
A second chance
Yet still we drive
Still we drive
Still we drive
On and on in the passenger side
Yet still we drive
Still we drive
Still we drive
On and on in the passenger side
Yet still we drive
Still we drive
Still we drive
On and on
In the passenger side
The passenger side
The passenger side

Pot Plot

Is it still raining there in Mexico
It keeps on hailing down here on me
Exit still got purple glow
Here we go
Stop
Still
Nobody knows
What happened to the X show
And where did he go
If I go crazy
Will you be with me
And if it happens will you lie to me
Cos I can’t do anything anymore
It’s not like I used to when small
So if I go crazy
Would you be with me
And when it happens
Would you still lie to me
And tell me it’s not real
Please tell me it’s not real
Can’t you feel
That I’m breaking down
I’m breaking down
And I believe in the nature of sound
Cos it’s a pot plot give it up
Pot plot give it up pot plot
Give it up pot plot

We All Need Hope
02:59

Corrupted by memories
Which feel less foul over time
It looks like we’re reacting to the reactions
We’re already reacting to
It’s a kinder good tomorrow
Corrupted by politicians
News media - TV & Print
You’re never really sure what the real truth is
And corporation stealing at its zenith
It’s a kinder good tomorrow
It’s a kinder good tomorrow
Tomorrow doesn’t have to be tainted by yesterday
Cos yesterday feels old right now
Today is here and I need some
Tomorrow doesn’t have to be tainted by yesterday
Cos yesterday feels old right now
Today is here and I need some hope
Yeah I need some hope
Yeah I need some hope
It’s a kinder good tomorrow
It’s a kinder good tomorrow
We’re searching for
Why isn’t it today
Why isn’t it today
Why isn’t it today

Bad Radio
03:42

|
I was driving in my car just the other day
When I ran out of CD’s to play
So I thought I’d give the radio a chance
I tuned to FM started wetting my pants
As it turned out what I didn’t know
Was that my song was stealing the show
Oh every channel I turned to you see
Turns out that they were playing me
So no more would I be
Thinking they don’t play me
Now it seems I’m on top
Got bad radio don’t want pop
Now I’m out doing shows across the U S of A
Next stop is Canada then Europe they say
Paris, Brussels, Hamburg, Berlin then Czech
Next stop London boy I’ll be a wreck
Now everywhere that I do go
Everybody wants me on their TV show
All I have to do is a song and a dance
But every time I do it I think will this last
So how did I get number one
I was just having fun
That means you’re singing you see
You’ve got bad radio just like me
I can’t believe it you see
That I made it onto the TV
The world is watching me
Millions of people, not just 2 or 3
Is there a message they see
Somewhere hidden deep inside of me
Maybe it’s listening for free
That bad radio sits atop the tree
Is this
Is this a dream Is this a dream
So now I’m wondering just where this will lead
Other celebrities tell me what I must heed
What I must do and where I must hang
Otherwise it might just all end with a bang
What I said you mean fame is fleeting
That everything I have could turn to nothing
No message, no hope, no income, no job
Well next thing you know I’ll be a lazy slob
So maybe that’s why we listen to crap
Cos every time you sing it you fall in a trap
So next time you sing it you’ll see
You’ll have got bad radio just like me
